Project description

djangocms-concurrent-users

A Django-CMS plugin for blocking pages which are edited by another user.
This provides a simple mechanism to prevent two users working on the same page. Due to the
fact, that only the version of the last user hitting the save button is stored, data loss is very likely.

This plugin adds a hidden toolbar item in order to provide the required code to the client. Once the browser
enters a page, it checks for another user and gets blocked in case the page has been locked. If the page is
not edited at this moment, the client acquires a lock and hence blocks it for other users for the time of working.
The check if performed by polling the server with an specified interval. Once the client lefts the page, the lock
is released and the next user will be able to make changes.

Features

blocks a page with an overlay in case another user is already working on it

reloads the page once it is released, in order to fetch the latest changes
